csbaa redirect to a new Vf page on another separate TAB
Hello Helpers
I have a VF page with a command button (among others)
<apex:commandButton action="{!MycontrolerFunction}" value="{!someValue}"/>
when the MyControllerFuntion is finished I want to redirect to a new page
For this I am using:
PageReference pageRef = new PageReference('/apex/MySecondPage');
pageRef.setRedirect(true);
return pageRef;
This open the new VF page on the same tab overwriting the initial page
What I want to achieve is to open the new VF page on a new tab
Is it possible
Thanks in advance

Hi,
You can use onComplete attribute of CommandButton. Updated CommandButton may look like:-
<apex:commandButton action="{!MycontrolerFunction}" value="{!someValue}" oncomplete="window.open('<URL of 2nd page>')"/>
One more catch is your controller should return null from action method. Something like below:-
public pagereference someValue(){
// your code
return null;
}
Let me know if you have any specific question about above.
Happy to help you!

Then use javascript in you VF page window.open(...params....) instead.

Hello digamberlucky
I tried but I still have problems
my second VF page needs a parameter which depends on a selection from a checkbox in the first page
I wrote a event handler method for the oncomplete where I calculated the url
the URL is calculated properly. If I use an alert(url); in my javascript program the right dynamic url is displayed
but if I use window.open(URLu); nothig happen
actualy it seems to me that I can not open the window from inside the javascript function
the simple function below does not work
<apex:commandButton oncomplete="viewHierarchy()" value="View Hierarchy 1"/>
function viewHierarchy()
{
window.open('www.google.com');
return;
}
my function looks as below:
function viewHierarchy()
{
var idu; //id of the selected acount and later parameter of the VF page
var elems = document.getElementsByTagName('input') ;
for (var i=0;i<elems.length;i++)
{
var e = elems[i];
if ( e.type=='checkbox' && e.checked)
{
// Copy the ID of selected Account to parent window, and then pop this down
var idu = document.getElementById(e.id.replace('cbox','acctId')).innerHTML ;
break ;
}
}
var URLu = '/apex/VEEVA_HIERARCHY_BUILDER?pid=' + idu;
if(idu != '')
{
//alert(URLu); IF I uncomment this I see the good URL
window.open(URLu); NOTHING HAPEN HERE
}
else
alert('No account selected!);
}
I found the error in my code so disregard my previous message
Thanks for your support
ocomplete() is a good event
